Black Pepper for Horses?


Horse Eating Black Pepper

Many people are surprised to see Black Pepper listed as an ingredient in some of our supplements.

Can Horses Eat Black Pepper?

Yes! Black pepper is safe for horses when used appropriately.

So… Why Feed It?

The answer lies in science. Black pepper contains a powerful compound called Piperine, which offers multiple health benefits.

What Is Piperine?

Piperine is the active ingredient in black pepper. One of its most notable effects is that it dramatically increases the absorption of other herbs.

🟡 Piperine can increase the absorption of Turmeric by up to 2,000%!

How Does It Work?

Piperine enhances absorption by altering the membrane permeability in the intestines.This means it allows certain substances to pass more easily through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream.

Are There Other Benefits?

Absolutely. Research has linked Piperine to:

  • Improved brain health

  • Support for recurrent uveitis

  • Anti-neoplastic (anti-cancer) properties

  • Stress reduction

  • Enhanced digestive health

…and more!



Will My Horse Eat It?

Yes – and you don’t need much.

Piperine is effective in small quantities. In our Lifespan supplement, we use a gentle 3:1 ratio that maintains palatability.

Introduced gradually, most horses accept it well — especially when mixed with other herbs and natural flavors.
